why_me_why_notI'm supposed to be writing tonight, and I'm trying, but I'm succeeding more at finding reasons & ways to procrastinate. Go figure. *g*
I heard this song the other day for the first time, even though it's apparently not new, and it made me cry and I've been thinking about it ever since. It's alot like Martina McBride's Concrete Angel song, or John Michael Montgomery's The Little Girl (not so much in content but in the fact that it makes me cry and gives me CHILLS just listening to it), and it's so so sad but it's beautiful. So I have to share. Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll
How about a happy song too? A schmoopy, romantic, country love-song by one of my favorite artists. She's Everything by Brad Paisley
And a Christmas one, too, b/c it's only three weeks away... Christmas in Dixie by Alabama
In the meantime, anyone wanna play a game with me?

8. "SANTA! OH MY GOD! SANTA'S COMING! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!"

11. wrong
7. Dean Winchester LMAO!! oh god, would that be some kind of kinky crackfic? or wee!winchster fic... hmm...
11. Sam Winchester LOL! Susie must be a very smart girl then! Actually, I don't know about Susie, but I know that I sure wouldn't mind getting Sam Winchester for Christmas...
12. Because Dean punched them out And then there would be a wee!winchester ficlet with Dean getting in a fight shortly before Christmas and then being upset that he won't get nothin for Christmas when he really does want those hopalong boots & a pistol that shoots...
Bonus: yeah, but the song says something specific.

Date: 2006-12-04 06:16 am (UTC)"I hate that stupid song," Dean said, turning the radio off with a flick of his wrist and storming out of the room.
"What's up with Dean?" he heard Dad ask behind him.
"Got in a fight at school. Knocked some boy's two front teeth out."
Dean didn't have to look to know Sam hadn't even bothered to look up from his book while answering. It wasn't a big deal to him, just another fight his brother was in, but truth was it had started over Sam. Several of the older kids were running their mouths about what a geeky little kid Dean Winchester's brother was, only in kindergarten and already reading second grade books. Dean may give Sam a fair share of teasing, even if he was the one who had taught Sam to read, sitting in the backseat of the Impala with a flashlight, waiting on Dad to take care of whatever he was hunting, but no one else was going to say anything about Sammy and get away with it.
Problem was, even though Dean was too old to believe in Santa, he still did. Dad loved them and took care of them, but there was no extra money for the gifts he and Sam wanted, so he hoped that Santa was real. He really wanted that pair of boots he saw in the window of the army surplus store in town, and a pistol like Dad's even if it only shot rocksalt. Surely Santa would understand there was more to the fight than Dean being a bully, even if the adults in his life didn't. Santa was magic, right?
Dean didn't know, but he only had three days until Christmas to figure it out.

11. "Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral, unlawful AND anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon. No kidding!" - Well, it isn't a christmas movie, but it sounds like something from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Lol, it kinda does, actually.
12. "There's no Christmas in the Army!" - Uh... There's no crying in baseball!!! LOL!! you're the second person to say that! But this movie is a CLASSIC!
6. What helps to make the season bright? - Chestnuts roasting on an open fire (Or Orli's nuts in Viggo's mouth. Teehee!) right song, wrong line. But leave it to you to slip something porny in there... *g*
9. One of my favorite Christmas songs too! We've been teaching it to the boys; Davey gets stuck on the rump-a-pum-pum part and sings it over and over.
13. Not sure where you cheated on that one, but that's not the answer I got. I'm interested to know why that would be his name though...
